UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

J.`W. MOYER, OF CHERRY VALLEY, NEW YORK.

IMPROVEMENT IN COATS WITH INNER. SLEEVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 46,0 I6, dated January 24, 1865.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J. WV. MOYER, of Cherry Valley, in the county of Otsego and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sleeves for Garments and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description oi' the same, reference being had to the accompanyii'ig drawings, making part of this specication, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section of a coatsleeve illustrating my invention. Ifig. 2 is a similar view showing` a modification of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

This invention consists in attaching to the ordinary sleeve an inner sleeve or cuff adapted to 'be fastened snugly around the wrist, and employed to prevent the draft oi' air up the sleeve and aroundthe arm.

To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to fully understand and use the same, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawings, A may represent the ordinary sleeve of a coat or other garment. B is a short inner sleeve or cuit' attached on the inner side ot' the outer sleeve by stitching or buttonin g, as represented in the drawings, or in any other desirable way. lhe outer sleeve, A, may have a short lining, a, up to the point of attachment of the inner sleeve. The lining b of the inner sleeve or cutt, B,

passes all through from the shoulder attachment to the wrist of the said inner sleeve. The inner sleeve, B, may be attached by buttons or otherwise to a band on the inner side of the outer sleeve, A, so as to be removable when desired, and its len th relatively to the outer sleeve may of course be varied to suit the taste.

Thevalue of theinvention will bebestunderstood by those who live in a cold clima! e, or whose occupation compels them to face the weather, such as soldiers, teamsters, railroad men, travelers, &c.; but it is simple, etcient, adds but little to the cost of the garment, and is a valuable addition to a coat whenever it is required for warmth, as will be apparent from a reasonable view ot' the same, and still more so from a practical test. i

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1 As an article of manufacture, a coat with an auxiliary sleeve or cuit', B, within and secured to the outer sleeve, A, as described and represented.

To the above specification of my improvement in sleeves for garments I have signed my name this 9th day of December, 1864.

J. W. MOYER.
